I am pretty bummed out that I cannot attend the U.S. Premiere Screening of Grace this coming Sunday. But that is good news for anyone who is interested in a pair of tickets to see the movie and possibly meet Director Devin Adair along with INSATIABLE’s Debby Ryan and ARROW’s Katie Cassidy as they will be in attendance. I am not sure if there will be a Q & A session but if there is that would be very cool. So, what is GRACE all about. I can tell you that this film is not yet rated. The content is for mature audiences. It is happening this Sunday September 23rd at 7:00pm as part of the Boston Film Festival. I can give the winner the full details.
If you are interested in tickets please leave a comment below and let me know that you would like to go. You have to be able to attend the show in Boston, MA on Sunday September 23rd at 7pm. More about the movie below.
Charlie Elliston is a once famous author suffering from writer’s block. With his book advance spent, his agent and best friend Bernie sends him Dawn, a belligerent young woman in order to inspire and check on him – but she has some plans of her own. Starring Katie Cassidy, Tate Donovan, Matthew Lillard, Mircea Monroe, Debby Ryan, and Missi Pyle. Directed by Devin Adair.
Devin Adair is founder of Adair Entertainment. Most recently, Devin wrote, directed, and produced GRACE, financed and produced by Laure Sudreau’s Ouroboros Entertainment, starring Tate Donovan, Katie Cassidy and Matt Lillard. GRACE is just starting its film festival circuit. So far, GRACE has won Best First Time Director, London Independent Film Festival.
A native of Boston, Devin shot GRACE in the same neighborhoods where she grew up, getting support from family and friends for locations in Weston, Cambridge and Jamaica Plain, as well as clearance to feature Red Sox memorabilia including a David Ortiz World Series shirt as two of her main characters are rabid Red Sox fans.
As a student at Harvard College, Devin was profiled by the Boston Globe when she became the first female coxswain on the Men’s Harvard Heavyweight Crew. Devin chronicled her experiences in the book, The Challenge (excerpt published, The New York Times Sunday Magazine) and has been inducted into the Harvard Varsity Club’s Hall of Fame.
Before making GRACE, Devin produced BETTING ON ZERO, a feature documentary with Glen Zipper, (producer of the Oscar Winning UNDEFEATED) directed by Ted Braun, (DARFUR NOW). BOZ is nominated for WGA Award and won an Investigative Reporting Special Mention at the Tribeca Film Festival. BETTING ON ZERO is distributed by Gunpowder and Sky and Netflix. Devin also produced BREAK POINT, (JK Simmons, Jeremy Sisto, Amy Smart) which premiered at SXSW and was distributed by Broad Green Pictures.
Previously, Devin served as Executive Producer at Boxer Films, Inc., in charge of Boxer’s film and television division.
Devin’s former post was Creative Director at Footprint Worldwide, overseeing the build-out of an action sports channel in mainland China anchored by ESPN’s X Games. She produced and directed interactive branded entertainment solutions for major global brands, and oversaw all related original content production in China. U.S. Brands included Oakley, Skullcandy, Warner Bros. Records and Linkin Park.
Devin holds an MFA in film from Columbia University. Her student short film THE WHITE DRESS premiered at the Seattle Intl. Film Festival, Gotham and Valencia, to name a few, and was picked up for distribution by Canal Plus.
Her extended family lives in Cambridge, Wellesley, Lincoln and Harvard, MA.
Thanks for thinking of us, Drew! This sounds fun! Let me know if we’re cool enough to be film festival people!
Congratulations. Enjoy the show.
Hello Bensparks, I’m hoping you will be able to put a spark in my weekend!! I’m going to be totally honest with you, I missed the opportunity to get tickets to the show as the movie sold out right before my eyes ( I believe in 24 hours to be exact.) The reason I want these tickets so badly is because my sister had worked on this film, and this is her first film ever to be shown on the big screen and she wanted nothing more than to share it with our family. Picturing her sitting there alone with no family to celebrate breaks my heart. (She’s now going alone since we couldn’t get tickets…) The opportunity to join her at the screening would be a huge moment in our lives and we would be forever grateful to you!! Obviously willing to pay money and live in Boston as well!!
Brynn,
I only had one pair of tickets and already gave them away. I do hope that you can find tickets, there are other giveaways happening, keep searching. Good luck.
